Jane Stannard, BACP, NCPS

Jane Stannard offers person-centred, flexible counselling that aims to help people feel heard and less alone. She presents as calm and attentive, and she focuses on easing anxiety, stress and the heavy weight of grief. Jane uses everyday language and simple tools so people can start to feel better sooner.

She works in an integrative way, drawing on Client-Centred Therapy and cognitive ideas when these suit a person's needs. That means sessions begin with the person's story and what matters to them, then practical steps are tried where helpful. Jane has ten years of experience that includes voluntary counselling roles alongside independent work.

Her background includes an AQA Level 4 Diploma and a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Social Care. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds membership with the National Christian counselling groups noted in her biography. These memberships are part of how she maintains practice standards.

Jane has worked with people facing bereavement, loss, relationship strain, workplace stress and mental health concerns such as anxiety, panic and depression. She also supports people managing family changes like divorce, blended family issues, and end-of-life and hospice matters. Her approach is straightforward and rooted in listening first.

If someone prefers a counsellor who will listen without judgement and help find practical ways forward, Jane aims to provide that kind of space. Readers should confirm current session options before booking to make sure they suit their needs.

How Jane uses client‑centred and CBT ideas online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and values. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is often useful for people who need space to make sense of loss or to be heard without judgement.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple techniques to reduce worry, panic and low mood. CBT is often chosen when someone wants tools to manage anxiety, panic attacks or workplace stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jane will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try different ways of working together. This helps decide whether a more listening-based approach, more practical CBT techniques, or a combination will suit the situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt sessions to match practical needs and rhythms.
